Love homemade sauce and for a couple of years I have been working with different recipes and trying to come up with the perfect sauce.  Last year I made one with out cooking this cranberries.  This years sauce is a cooked sauce give it a try and let me know what you think.

 1 bag cranberries 12 ounce

 4 tbsp sugar

1 cup orange juice

1 tsp lemon juice

zest from one orange

directions
In a small pot place cranberries, sugar, orange juice, and lemon juice.  Bring to a simmer on med heat and stir.  let this simmer until cranberries pop.  I like my sauce less chunking so I use my hand mixer to blend it a bit more.  Stir in orange zest and let cool.
